BURNED TO DEATH.-Two small chill
dren, daughters of Ann Eliza Turner, coll
ored, were the victims OF kerosene oil ac-
cident i'm this place Tuesday evening.
While alone in the bouse the larger one,
not more than FIVE years old, undertook to
kindle the fire by pouring oil on it. An
explosion was the result and a little infant
sitting on the floor near the fireplace was
burned to death. The other child was so
severely burned it is not expected to live.
She had evidently seen some grown person
using the deadly oil can to kindle the fire.
If you need spectacleS or eyeglasses, go
to +. E. flights and have your eyes fitted
with pair of those celebrated Paris Crys-
tai Lenses, the best made. For brilliancy
and distinctness of vision, they are une-
qualled, while for softnesS of endurance,
ease and comfort to the eyes, they are not
eXcelled by any glasses on the market.

ABOUT EARLY CLOSING AGAIN.-The
GOLD LEAF has already suggested the pro-
priety Of the plan of early closing the bust
ness houses-dry goods and grocery stores
during the summer. If all should adopt
the rule it would not be long before every
body would do their shopping before dark,
and really no trade would be lost to the
merchants. The employees of such estab-
lishments need rest and recreation and
they should have it. Summer is a trying
season at best, and makes large drains upon
our energies and spirits, and all labor
should be lessened and abridged as far as
possible. With proper management the
same amount of business may be accom-
plished in fewer hours, leaving margin
for the much needed rest, and we believe
the experiment will prove satisfactory to
those who try it.. What say our business
men on the subject? Without intending to
interfere with the private business of any
one, the GOLD LEAF feels this much inter-
est in the hard-wOrked clerks and book
keepers of the town. Many of the stores
close at an early hour already. Why not
all?

SOME EFFECTS PRODUCED BY SPRING
According to the Logansport Chronicle, the
advent of spring may be determined by the
following signs and effects: "In the spring
the yellow bull dog sits around and waits
for tramps, and the gentle house maid sails
to heaven, while she's filling up the lamps;
in the spring our winter garments, at our
uncle's place we soak; in the spring, the
merry bull-frog. cheers us with his joyous
croak. In the spring the Bible agent,
greets us with his silvery laugh, and the
sad eyed cow comes homeward, with a
wabbly legged calf. In the spring the bill
llous fever knocks us higher titan a kite, in
the spring we roast at daytime, and we
shiyer all the night In the spring the
house is all torn up, from the cellar to the
roof, and we feed on frigid liver, OF pork.

thoughts of matrimonial boom.
